Observer
Name Ruth D
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks The glow was bright green with a tail the went from reddish orange to yellow. It was near darkness and it initially reminded me a of roman candle shot horizontally however it kept .traveling with a longer tail. I was driving at the time and traveling up hill which may have impacted my perspective (angle of view). Definitely not the color or any meteor seen in the past (a burning satellite possibly?)
